About the name Lubna
Lubna is a classical Arabic girl's name referring to the storax tree (Liquidambar orientalis), known for its fragrant, sweet-smelling resin used in perfumery and incense. The name carries associations of natural sweetness and fragrance. Lubna bint Mabad al-Qays was a notable figure in early Arabian history. The name is widely used across Muslim communities in South Asia, the Arab world, and in diaspora communities globally. In the UK, Lubna has been used in British Pakistani communities for decades. The 'LOOB' beginning with the 'oo' as in 'loom' may be rendered 'LUB-na' by English speakers, so a gentle correction is sometimes needed.
